T0 LZZ whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, WILLIAM WAnlNe, a citizen. ot the United States, residing at Uolora, in the county of Cecil and State oi'f Maryland, have invented certain new and use'lul Improvements in Cultivators; and I do declare, the following tt be .t full, clear, and exact description ol.' the invention, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which it appert-ains to make and use the same, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, and to the letters and tignres of reference marked thereon, which form a part oi' this specification.

This invention relates to cultvators, and more particularly to a support tor the culti.- vator teeth or plows.

The object ot' the invention is to enable the tooth or plow of the cultivator to be given any desired angular' adjustment, so as to vary its action on the soil.

To this end the invention eznimdies .cer-- tain structural features which will hereinafter be fully described in the specification, and definitely indicated in the appended claims.

In the accompanying drawings, which illustrate the inventit'm, Figure l is a side elevation 'ol' a plow and support constructed according to my inventh the culti. .ttor-beam to which it is shown attached being broken away. Fig. 2 is a perspective view of the plow-support. Fig. i is a perspective view showing the parts of the plop/support dctached.

The support consists oi.' two part s, shown, respectively, at l and 2, the former of which is rigidly secured to the cultivater-beam ll in any suitable way, as by pins, holes being provided to accommodate the pins. 'lhe parts are preferably made of malleable metal.

The part l consists of a skeleton-frame provided with side wings to embrace the cultivator-beam, and with its lower extremity curved and provided with a ligngigegrtal slot, 4,., in the direction of cliirvat 'l i The part 2 is provided with a vertical stem, 6, having 'a curved face adapted to be set into and to co-operate with the inner face ot' the curved extension of part l. A bolt, 5, passes throughthe slot 4, its head bearing against the convex sideot theextension. Vlbe bolt passes through a suitable opening in the stem ti. A nut, 7, 'and washer S eo-operate with the bolt to lock the two parts in any desired position.

One face ol part- 2 is curved, as shown at 12, to form a seat tor the shovel or plow l5 ol' the culti vat-or, which is locked in place by a bolt, ll, and co-oporating nut7 said bolt passing through a suitable opening, l Si, From this description it will be evident that the part 2 may be set in different vertical planes with reference to the parti by simply' loosening the nut 7 and giving the part a lateral twist, the stem li turning smoothly in the extension ot part l, and linding a tirin seat against said extension in any ph'ne of adjustment, the bolt: 5 and its head being free to move in the slot l. 'lhe lower part, 2, is provided with a shoulder, lli, against which the extension ot l rests, and the curved seat torthe shovel has its starti11g-point at this Shoulder. This permits the upper end ot the shovel when attached to clear part l.

I am aware that it is not broadly new to render a shovel or plow ot' a cultivat'or adjustable with reference to the line ol draft', and I do not lay claim thereto.

Having thus described my invention, what I claim, and desire to secure by Letters Patent,

l. A plow-support comprising a frame, l, channeled to embrace a standard, said trame being provided with concave extension, and a shovel-block provided with a convex stem cti-operating with the evtension, the shovelbloch naving rotary zuljustnient upon the trame through a slot and bolt.

2. In a plow-sinsport, the combination of a part, l, adapted to bc lixed to a plow-standard7 a curved extension provided with a transverse slot7 l, a shovel-block provided with a stem, having a curved tace (zo-operating with the extension, and a bolt passing through the slot #t for locking the parts together. I

In testimony whereof I atiix in y signa-ture in presence of two witnesses.
